Env & Secret Cleanup Assistant

Scan for leaked secrets and migrate them to secure storage

Problem

For convenience or emergencies, developers often paste server addresses, SSH keys, and API keys into random text files or code, causing mismanagement and loss. On V2EX, someone asked for a key management tool, showing the pain is common.

Solution

A local tool that scans project directories and common locations (e.g., desktop txt files) for hardcoded secrets, passwords, tokens, and generates a report to help migrate them to environment variables or a secrets manager. Integrate into editors and CI to prevent re-commits.

Users

Individual developers, small teams, DevOps engineers

MVP

Scan specified directories for common secret patterns (AWS, SSH, API keys); output report; provide one-click migration to .env or system keychain; support Git pre-commit hooks.

Revenue

Open-source core; subscription for advanced features (team dashboard, continuous monitoring, compliance reports).

Why now

Frequent secret leaks and growing security awareness, but existing tools are enterprise-focused, leaving a gap for lightweight developer tools.
